An hour before you get up. your maid
will light your fire, and then screen 1t
with a silver framework lined with rose
silk, which will temper the heat and give
The whole room q sort Of rosy morning
light that warns while it illumines.
Then she will bring you on silver plate
warmer your cup Of chocolate, hot and
foaming, which you will drink from the
warmer itself. munching the while your
rusks, served on a little gold toast-rack.
Kept hot In its turn by little live char
coal, sprinkled with vanilla to perfume
the air.
After you have taken your chocolate
you will doze again for couple OF hours.
Then you will put on deshabille OF
pink satin, lined with swansdown, envcl-
oping the whole body from head to foot.
The waistband and the fastening OF the
neck OF this garment must be OF velvet,
so as to be warm to the touch.
You may now pass into the bathroom.
the atmosphere of which will be kept at
an agreeable temperature by little gusts
Of rose-scented vapor pumped through
an aperture in the wall. 1t is now time
to draw on the stockings, lined with
warm Hossy silk, long and perfumed.
nd gartered with Russian sables. clasped
sith cat's-eye stones set In diamonds.
fhe boots are to be lined with swans

tense ioot-warmer some ten feet square,
which is to form o kind of second floor
ing all about the dressing-table. The
blinds may be colored to represent the
ardent rays Of the sun, and the padding
to keep out the draught is to be trimmed
with natural flowers. This will make
the place look and feel like summer
bower in the depth Of winter.
The maid may now fumigate tho nape
Of the neck with little burnt benzoin, to
make 1t supple. We must not forget the
hands. These may be kept warm by
holding them in two little vessels OF
enamel with warm water, and shaped
like apples. The promised advantage OF
this arrangement Is that it gives the
hands that attractive rosinesS which
warmth can alone impart.
The Parisienne avoids, as though 1t
vas laden with the breath Of pestilence,
every touch of cold air. The carriage In
which she takes her drive Is Theoretically
closed. She may realize winter by watch
ing tho ice and milkmen blowing on their
fingers through the windows.

trimmed with ostrich feathers at the
neck and wrists. The nightcap, Of white
satin, should be trimmed with feathers
Of the same bird, and. for additional
warmth. little turtle dove may be fas-
tened above the left ear.
The worry hands are to have their night
cap gloves of pink kid, lined with plush,
and fastened by elastics Tin pink chenille)
so as not to check the circulation. The
bed is to be heated by the. fumes Of
burnt lime, flowers, and violets.
Enfln, you will drink. just before going
to sleep, light creme de sdbillon, nice and
hot, made with two fresh eggs and .
glass Of Madeira.
Good night.-[La Vie Parlsienne.
